Assu= ming that the 48 V phantom power voltage provided by the recorder is regula= ted down to 5 V inside the microphone, then only about 10 % of the provided= energy is actually used to power the microphone. The other 90% is just con= verted into heat... Regards, Raimund Specht http://www.avisoft.com |
